grined and mortified over the so-called '.com-
promise" l represented Rush county the two

consent for Green Smith to preside over the

PITIABLE BACK-DOW
New York Tribune.
The control of the United States Senate for
two years to come has not been Quite sacrificed
by the surrender of Indiana Republicans, which
seems at this distance to have been entirely in
excusable. 1t is possible however, that they
had discovered that, on account of the course of
four Labor members. it would be impossible to
give valid election to any Republican candi-
date without waving the right of Lieutenant
governor Robertson. Nothing else is perceived
that could excuse so pitiable back down from
the strong and strictly lawful position taken by
the Republicans of the House on Tuesday But
the result in Indiana, whatever it may now be,
is likely to be contested, and the Senate by
which the contest will be decided, ought in any
case, to be Republican body.
NOT AT ALL CLEAR.
New York Mail and Z xpress.
1t is not entirely clear how the Indiana Re.
public1ns were led into the extraordinary COM
promise which took effect Yesterday, and which
now seems likely to result in the election of
Democrat as United States Senator The COM
promise seems to have boon virtual abandon
ment OF the case against Smith as President OF
the Senate and a tenn porary Acknowledgement,
ut least, of the right to seats of two fraudu-
lently seated Democrats, Mcdonald and Brana-
man.
THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY.
Philadelphia Press.
|. 1t was the height of folly to compromise with
the Democrats when they had just shown their
desperation by unseating Republican Senator
on fimsy plea of bribery, and without any
color of law putting his Democratic opponent in
his place. Republicans do not ask the party in
Indiana to take one illegal step. but they do
pect them to maintain their rights. If they do
less they cannot hope to keep the respect of Re-
publicans or Democrats.
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW
Philadelphia Record.
In the Senate the election of Mcdonald. Re-
publican member for bribery, was doubtless all
right, but the offense of Mcdonald did not ent-
tie his defeated Democratic opponent to his seat.
II Mcdonald forfeited his senatorshp by bri-
vacant the same as if Mcdonald had died or re-
signed, and the only lawful way to fill it was by
issuing writ for new election.

Hon. Wilson Morrow's Endorsement.

TO the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
Whenever right compromises with wrong 1t
descends to level with wrong and this is the
level of every Republican Senator and Repre-
sentative who entered into the regent base com
promise with revolution. 1t was wrong to the
people, wrong to Lieutenant-governor Robert
son, premium offered to revolution, and de-
moralizing to law and order. And this is the
sentiment of every man with whom / have
talked on the subject. l write, however simply
to thank you for the high and honorable course
OF the Journal in this controversy, and its able
and fearless advocacy of the right. and to as
sure you that you have the sympathy and in
dorsement OF the people W. MORROW.

TO parties for from 500 to $500 He would
then drive the team back to the owner, keep

made away to other parts. Finally, in a
moment of over confidence. inspired probably
from the ease with which he had escaped
punishment, he went TO d shrewd money
lender in Washington county, and secured
loan of several hundred dollars by
giving in II turn a mortgage upon five
white steers he claimed to have on

The man VINO had loaned him the money

his chattel mortgage, demanded the five
white steers. The wife, who evidently knew
about the transaction. took the document,
looking it over carefully, and with radiant
smile stepped back, and pointing to five
promising boys. calmly told him they were
the steers covered by his mortgage. The
man had utilized his name to procure the
loan, and thus verg sdroitly deceived his
victim. Learning that Stehr was living in

for Stehr's arrest on a charge of having pro-
cured money fraudulenty. and sent an

Northern Pacific Suits.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Neither Secretary
Lamar nor Secretary Muldrow are at all salts
fed with the way United States Attorney
Smith is conducting the timber trespass suits
against the Northern Pacific in Montana and
they think there is reason to believe that
Smith is acting more in the interest of the
road than of the government. To-day Col.
Muldrow addressed a letter to Attorney Gen
eral Garland protesting against the way in
which the suits in Montana are being con-
Quoted. He says: Il am not satisfied with
Attorney Smiths appeal from Judge Gal
braith's decision that the United States and
Northern Pacific are not tenants in common
on unSurEeyed timber lands Judge Gal
braith'S decision accords with the views of
the department on this question. l cannot
understand why Smith should have appealed
from the decision of Judge Galbrath.
This department would prefer that
such prompt measures be taken as you
deem necessary to inform Smith of the view
of the department on this question and fully
protect the government. In connection with
this matter let me ask what disposition has
been made OF our letter of Nov. 13, 1856, re-
guessing the Institution of legal proceedings
against the Montana Improvement company
Criminal suit has been ordered against
Messrs. Ernshaw Potter, timber agents for
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Rail-
road company, who cut 220,0 600 trees, making
s,ze3 ties on French creek and Lame John
creek in the Black Hills. Special Agent High
says they claimed they were for the road north
and west of Ra pid City, but the road is COM
pleted forty miles beyond where the ties WEI
cut. He thinks they were intended for the
line west of Douglass, Wyo.. aud for sale and
speculation. The logs have been seized for
sale.
